This bill strengthens rules for voting machines used in South Dakota elections by explicitly prohibiting any voting equipment from connecting to the internet and preventing ballot-marking devices from saving or storing votes. The bill also requires the State Board of Elections to approve any changes or updates made to voting systems before they can be used in the state, adding an extra layer of oversight to protect election security.
